🐹 Do Hamsters Need Their Nails Trimmed?
March 13,2025
Hamsters actually do need their nails trimmed 😨,
but you don’t need to do it too often! Sometimes, hamsters naturally dig or scratch, which also helps keep their nails in check 💅
If they’re lazy or older, you should keep an eye on their nails to see if they need help with trimming 👀
Long nails might cause them to scratch themselves.
When trimming, make sure to do it quickly and decisively 💪
Be careful not to cut too much—just a light trim is enough.
And don’t forget to reward your hamster 📒 afterward so they don’t associate the experience negatively with you!
⚠️ If you’re worried about hurting your hamster, the best option is to let a veterinarian handle it💕
